Andersson Hagiwara, L. Svensson, S. Schierbeck, A. Nord, J. Hollenberg, M. Ringh, P. Nordberg, P. Andersson Segerfelt, M. Jonsson, J. Olsson, A. Claesson
Drones are able to deliver automated external defibrillators in cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) but can be deployed for other purposes. Our aim was to evaluate the feasibility of sending live photos to dispatch centres before arrival of other units during time-critical incidents. In this retrospective observational study, the regional dispatch centre implemented a new service using five

Effect of cardiopulmonary resuscitation training for layperson bystanders on outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: A prospective multicenter observational study Resuscitation (IF 6.5) Pub Date : 2024-07-09 Ryusei Tabata, Takashi Tagami, Kensuke Suzuki, Tomohito Amano, Haruka Takahashi, Hiroto Numata, Shinnosuke Kitano, Nobuya Kitamura, Satoo Ogawa
Effective bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) improves outcomes in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients. However, the effect of CPR training on the rate of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) among laypersons has yet to be thoroughly evaluated. This prospective, multicenter observational study was conducted across 42 centers in Japan. We assessed OHCA patients who received

Chest compressions generating good perfusion during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in cardiac arrest patients are critical for positive patient outcomes. Conventional wisdom advises minimizing compression pauses because several compressions are required to recover arterial blood pressure (ABP) back to pre-pause values. Our study examines how compression pauses influence ABP recovery post-pause

During out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), an automatic external defibrillator (AED) analyzes the cardiac rhythm every two minutes; however, 80% of refibrillations occur within the first minute post-shock. We have implemented an algorithm for nalyzing cardiac rhythm hile performing chest ompression (AWC). When AWC detects a shockable rhythm, it shortens the time between analyses to one minute. We
